First time buying bitcoins and the only online wallet I trust is switching servers. WOW, some luck. I also wanna buy some green for st. pattys day silk road style, naww mean? Does anyone else have suggestions for anonymous online wallets that are secure?

this is driving me insane.. the reddit post about this is giving me a really bad feeling.

Remember this: if you don't have direct control of the private keys controlling the addresses where your bitcoins are stored, then they aren't really your bitcoins.

The blockchain.info wallet is a great place to store small quantities of bitcoins for easy spending because of their superb mobile app, but you really should import your private key into a desktop client under your control just in case something like this happens.

I had set blockchain.info to backup my wallet to Dropbox and Google drive.. However,today when I checked, the last backup on Google drive is from 5th March 13 and on dropbox is from 17 Feb 13. I had a couple of more addresses since 5th with about 0.5 btc on them which are not there in my backup from Google drive (which I imported into Multibit).

I was under the assumption that the backups are automatic everytime a new address is added. Are they not?

It's a feature you have to turn on. Be careful though because it diminishes your privacy since it needs access to your public keys in order to know when a change happens (I think, or is this just for notifications..?)
